If you could live in any historical era, what era would that be?
If I could live in any historical era, I would live in the Land Before Time. Living in the age of the dinosaurs would be interesting because I’d love to see how they acted in their everyday lives. I would know for sure if dinosaurs were really as ferocious as they are known to be today or Jurassic Park. Maybe they were really chill but one inconvenient dino-evening, Spongebob time-warped with Patrick there and tried to enslave them? I know right? Who knows the truth… we don’t… we were never there. I would also want to live in the dinosaur era because I want to know how the dinosaurs really died. Did they die from a giant meteor? Or a huge climate change? Or massive volcanic eruptions poisoning the skies? Or some crazy outside force like aliens?? Death by a serious climate change of hot to cold would be extremely lame if you ask me, but death by a hot and dangerous meteor strike would be quite the event to watch. Volcanic eruptions would be pretty ridiculous too, darkened, ashy skies as dinosaurs drop dead one by one from suffocation of their beastly insides. So yea, living in this kind of place would be really cool and stuff…except for when all of them die…including myself.
If I had the opportunity to live in another time period, I would definitely choose to live during the 1920s. Living in the 1920s would be a completely different lifestyle, I would enjoy spending time with the people that lived before, during, and after the Great Depression. These people were able to see so many different lifestyles throughout their lifetime. During the twenties, people were starting to go against the normal routine of things, such as dancing in new “risqué” way and wearing less conservative clothing. The music throughout the 1920s would also be an inspiration, jazz breaking through and creating a name for itself. All of the musicians in that decade were so talented and had beautiful voices and were able to sing with a lot of intensity, unlike some of the musicians that are popular in 2011, take Ke$ha for instance. Regardless, living in the 1920s would take me through a roaring decade, followed by hard times, which would later turn around. Once things got better, I would appreciate the good things in life and not take them for granted. The generation that was able to live throughout these decades are truly remarkable.
In the cave man times our men go out and kill a wooly mammoth. They take three days to kill a wooly mammoth which we women could do in four hours, but we like that the men are gone for so long because then we women can rearrange the rocks in the cave and cut open a woodchuck and use its blood to paint the walls a deep red color. We women love living in 50,000 BC because the men are stupid enough now to do everything for us. We pretend to be helpless even though we can chase a zebra through the brush at sixteen miles per hour, but then we got smart and decided we couldn’t do anything except file our nails and the men liked that a lot. "You women, stay right here. We men go out and kill and then kill and then kill some more," they always say while thumping their chests. They love to thump their chests and sometimes they thump so hard they knock themselves out. Meanwhile we women put antelope bones in our hair, and we giggle a lot, and when the men return with the wooly mammoth meat we pretend to be all impressed and we dance around them. Then we ask them to thump their chests. I can’t imagine living in an era when I have to work.
If I could live in any historical era, it would most definitely be the 80s. The 80s was a decade of decadence, with awesome music, movies, clothes, parties, and a cool lifestyle. People back than were very retro and had a good sense of fashion and music, which lures me to be apart of that time period. It was also the decade of the beginning of great action movies, and special effects. Madonna was also apart of the 80s, and was an inspiration to all. I would love to see how she was from the beginning of her boosting career; from her fashion sense, to her style and energy in music. For fashion, the 80s was a great time to dress up crazy and retro. The creation of MTV revolutionized fashion, and the people living in that time expressed there creativity an individuality, wearing short hair and layers of colorful clothing. In the eighties, they loved bright pastels, gritty tough black clothes, and rockin' metallics. The whole feeling of living in the eighties, makes me anxious and excited for the clothing and style of music they lived on. I think it would be the best time to experience what shaped the media and the fashion industry.
1865. The Wild West, every man for himself. Living in this time period would have its perks, especially when you’re associated with Billy the Kid, the teenage outlaw of the West. Finding entertainment in the West wouldn’t be difficult between all the robberies and shootouts. However, the real joy of this time period comes from the attainment of fame. I won’t get into detail because it involves a lot of physics and trigonometry, but the West would be great. A man once told me that he passed out after John Wayne’s film “The War Wagon” simply from thinking about living in the west. Bring along Clint Eastwood and you got everything you could possibly want in life. Starting fires, robbing banks, shooting friends over card games, stealing horses, building railroads, calling the sheriff, shooting the sheriff, dancing in the rain, trying to catch tumbleweed, visiting saloons, drinking whiskey, playing the jazz flute, shopping for boots, and shooting the sheriff would never get old. Someone build a time machine and take me out West.
If I could live in any era, I would choose the 80s. The 90s are too close, and anytime below the 80s the life expectancy is much shorter. For example, if you live in the dinosaur time, chances are you'll get eaten or murdered for food, or if you live in the 70s, chances are you'll be addicted to some type of drug. People in those times dream of living in a time such as ours, there is much more medicine and life expectancy is much much higher. I don't know about anyone else but I am trying to live, and not die from disease, malnutrition, or be ruthlessly murdered in a lawless time. I think the 80s were a very laid back time and everyone had a good time, there were plenty of jobs and lots of chicks. In addition you also might get the chance to run into your parents, which would be weird but pretty awesome. Sure it would be cool to see what life would be like wayyyy back when, but would it be worth the risk of not living a long life? The 80s are legit.
Imagine you are in 1250 BC, the late Bronze age, and as you are walking down the marketplace, which somewhat resembles the Disney movie Aladdin, buying your groceries for your family to eat that night you catch a word with the tomato man. As he blabbers in your ear about the deal you’d be getting he slips and tells you that the Queen of Sparta, Helen, has just ran off with your Trojan Prince, Paris, causing the whole city of Troy to be drafted into what looked to be an easy war. After frenchin’ with your wife that night, you spill the news that the Spartans are coming and you will be fighting tomorrow. You find your best chiton, otherwise known as tunic or loin cloth, and your sword and armor and you head out. But to your surprise walking onto the unprepared battle field you find an displeasing surprise of Achilles, a throat slitting, no mercy, warrior that would soon turn you inside out with his Greek Mojo. Although this doesn’t sound too appealing, the suspense and adrenalin would be beyond and although I would not want to be in your shoes, I would like to experience it from the top of the castle like Prince did while his brother took the hit for him. Sounds like fun to me.
I’d live in the Jurassic Period when the gargantuan dinosaurs gamboled through the fields. But, I would not be the only human living there. We would live in small huts built with weeds and a dinosaur poo infrastructure. I would have a pet stegosaurus that would take me to school on its back every morning, and our school would be stationed at the top of a mountain so T-Rexs could not eat us. During school, if you misbehaved, you got to spend ten minutes in a cage with baby raptors, gnawing the retinas out of your head or you would have to take a shower with sweltering lava from the nearby volcano. Some school sports activities would be triceratops rodeos, lassoing baby long necks, and pterodactyl hunting. Also, living in the Jurassic Period with dinosaurs could be very beneficial when it comes to bullying since you can launch your pet raptor at the browbeater who takes your lunch money. A few careers people could obtain are: dinosaur farming (where you raise various species of dinosaurs), dinosaur grooming (where you doll up people’s pet dinosaurs), and Police Officers in the Dino Unit (where you would have a dinosaur sidekick to sniff out drugs and attack criminals). Living in the Jurassic Period, dinosaurs would be the source of all transportation and would be a replacement of modern house pets.
